Hi.
Is there a simple way for a CLI based PHP script to determine if its
output is being redirected to a file or piped through a filter (find,
sort, etc.)
I'm using ANSI escape sequences to colour the output (all working very
nicely), but I want to suppress the codes if the output is being
filtered or redirected to a file.
Regards,
Richard Quadling.
